Comprehensive Fundamental Innovation of Vietnamese Education and Its Impact on the Need for Innovation in the Teaching and Learning Process


With the 4.0 industrial revolution, the internet of things is booming, so the process of knowledge transfer in schools has changed. The birth and development of smart devices makes people connected and enjoy the benefits of the internet, helping to receive knowledge faster and shorten the distance. First of all, IT has created an opportunity for everyone to have the right to learn, to learn anywhere, anytime, without necessarily having to learn face to face. Through the Internet, you can learn with good teachers at a distance, even in another country. Learners can proactively access the learning network at any time depending on their free time.

The most important benefit, of great significance, that IT brings is the new model of education and training. Teaching and learning methods, structure, and organizational processes all have fundamental changes. The characteristic of the traditional model is that the teacher is the center and the learner is passive. With the new model, the teacher becomes a motivator, an expert guide. They play a guiding role, helping students to explore and research on their own, transforming accessible information into knowledge and skills. Students are proactive, adaptive, self-controlled and self-directed. The diversity of information sources available through technology (via the Internet) creates self-guided learning opportunities for learners, independent of direct teaching from teachers. Technology makes teaching and learning more vivid, more appropriate to the diversity of conditions and abilities of each individual learner.

It can be affirmed that IT has been creating a strong innovation in education. From innovation in program content, teaching methods, to innovation in education management, education technology... Or in other words, it creates a new education system that adapts to the changing social environment and is also the trend of the education system in the future. This is the most important issue today in the field of education that all countries are concerned about.


IT creates professionalism in education. From there, educational technologies appear, including teaching and learning technology and educational management technology.

- Teaching and learning technology: Changes the content and methods of teaching, changes the methods and forms of learning of students. The relationship between computers and humans has become a two-way relationship through media, such as video, audio... its peak is the learning environment on the Internet (E-Learning).

- Educational management technology: Changes the way of operating and managing education, supports administrative reform to work more effectively and manage the teaching and learning process.

Thanks to educational technology, IT has clearly demonstrated its role as a tool for all educational innovations. IT provides educational resources for everyone, changing the role of people, learners can promote positivity. It is both a means, a tool and a purpose of education and training. Applying IT in teaching will change the form of teaching: Teachers can mobilize and combine many senses of students in the teaching and learning process. With the support of modern teaching aids, IT equipment, students learn with multiple senses, practice by themselves, present their own opinions, students' knowledge acquisition is easier and knowledge is remembered longer.

- With the support of IT, teachers can easily innovate teaching methods. Teachers can implement new and highly effective teaching models such as: discovery learning, project-based learning, programmatic learning, online learning, etc.

- In the era of industry 4.0, applying IT in teaching can solve the contradiction between the information explosion and the learning time, level and strength of today's students, and at the same time solve the problem of learning overload.


of students. Moreover, it also gives students a sense of professional and modern learning.

From the requirements of the 4.0 industrial revolution, educational managers must apply the achievements of this revolution in school management content. Develop schools in a smart direction based on digitalization, modernity in internet application in management and teaching.

1.3.2. Comprehensive fundamental innovation of Vietnamese education and its impact on the need to innovate the teaching and learning process

1.3.2.1. New points in the 2018 general education program

Thoroughly implementing the viewpoints, guidelines and policies of the Party and State on educational innovation in general, the innovation of general education programs and textbooks is carried out according to the following main points:

- Develop learners' qualities and abilities, ensuring harmony between teaching letters and teaching people.

- The structure and content of textbook programs must ensure standardization, modernization, international integration, and ensure integrity, flexibility, and consistency within and between levels of education.

- Innovate methods and forms of educational organization to develop students' qualities and abilities.

- Manage the development and implementation of the program to ensure feasibility, flexibility, and suitability to the locality and student population.

The 2018 general education program has the following basic characteristics:

+ Built to develop learners' abilities.

+ The program consists of 2 stages: basic and post-basic, with the principle of integration in lower grades and deep differentiation in upper grades.

+ Local education content, increasing elective subjects, educational activities suitable to the conditions of the school, locality and learners.


+ Innovate teaching methods and evaluate educational results to develop students' capacity.

+ A common program and many sets of textbooks.

With the above innovative orientations, teachers need to be equipped and developed with many new skills, especially the skills of applying IT in teaching. Testing and evaluating students must be knowledgeable about the program, solid in expertise, proficient in technology, and creative in applying teachers' evaluation solutions.

Thus, it can be seen that the innovation of general education programs has brought about many positive impacts but at the same time, it also created new requirements for the training and retraining of teachers of pedagogical universities; building new teacher training programs in accordance with the 2018 general education program, paying attention to training teachers in integrated and interdisciplinary teaching, fostering skills and capacity to apply IT in teaching.

1.3.2.3. The impact of the competency-oriented curriculum on the organization of the teaching and learning process in secondary schools, the roles of students, teachers and managers.

The teaching and learning process implements the secondary school education program to meet the requirements of training students' qualities and abilities.

The general teaching and learning process can be represented by the following diagram:


The teaching process oriented towards developing students' qualities and abilities has the following basic characteristics:

- The objectives of a subject or lesson are the qualities and abilities that students must develop themselves (under the guidance of the teacher), instead of just the knowledge imparted by the teacher.

- The content of the subject is the necessary and sufficient content for students to practice the abilities specified by the teaching objectives, instead of providing as much content as possible.

- The form of teaching organization and teaching methods must be fundamentally renewed. Instead of imparting knowledge, teachers must base on teaching objectives to organize activities. Instead of sitting and listening, taking notes, and answering when asked, students must be active and through activities, create knowledge for themselves. In that process,


assessment forms used to help students achieve the lesson's competency standards

- The form of final assessment must be renewed. Instead of testing knowledge, we will assess the application of knowledge to solve problems in our own lives, with useful products.

The teaching and learning process oriented to develop students' qualities and abilities changes the position and role of teachers and students. Teachers are the main actors in the process of organizing classroom activities, guiding, supporting, and helping students in their activities. Students actively act in the way they want and can, and construct knowledge in their own way to practice their abilities. Managers must understand these characteristics to support teachers and students to teach well and learn well with IT.

The characteristics of the teaching process oriented towards developing students' qualities and abilities are the basis for determining how to apply IT in teaching and also the basis for determining solutions to manage this process.

1.3.3. Some basic principles when applying information technology in teaching at secondary schools in the direction of developing capacity to meet the requirements of current educational innovation

The application of IT in teaching is an urgent requirement to contribute to the innovation of teaching methods, improve teaching effectiveness in the direction of developing students' capacity. In the teaching process, teachers must ensure the principles of applying IT in the direction of developing basic capacity as follows:

- Ensuring subject objectives: The objectives of the new general education program in 2018 are determined to be knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These objectives are clearly defined according to the knowledge and skills standards of each lesson. Ensuring subject objectives in the process of applying IT requires teachers to determine that IT is an environment and a tool to support the teaching process, not a target.


- Forming and developing students' capacity: In the process of applying IT in teaching and learning, it is oriented towards developing students' capacity and qualities. In addition to ensuring the objectives of the subject according to knowledge and skills standards, teachers must determine which capacities and qualities the application of IT in teaching and learning will aim to form and develop in students? To what extent will the capacity and qualities be developed? To do this, teachers must determine the objectives of the lesson or in a specific lesson that will aim to form and develop specific capacities for students, thereby choosing the appropriate form and level of IT application.

1.3.4. Content of information technology application in teaching in secondary schools

In practice, the application of IT in teaching is carried out in all stages of the teaching process, this has been proven from theory and reality. The application of IT in teaching in secondary schools is carried out in the following stages:

Application of IT in designing teaching lessons with IT application

Teachers must determine what type of lesson plan to make? Does the lecture support IT application in some stages or is it an E-Learning lecture? After determining the type of lecture, plan to build the lecture; write a script for the lecture, paying attention to the method and sequence of teaching the subject. Use IT techniques to build a collection of materials for the lecture; use IT operations and techniques to design appropriate lectures. Teachers must know how to choose software and supporting equipment, as well as build a teaching process through specific activities of the lecture.

Applying technology in implementing lesson plans

Using lesson plans with IT applications requires teachers to know how to organize learning activities for students in an IT environment. Teachers must have the skills to use IT in pedagogical situations. Teaching requires teachers to have both subject knowledge and IT knowledge. When teaching, teachers
